Alarm clock and baby waking up?

Kristily

DS's room is right next to ours. I go back to work in a little over a week and I am wondering how I am going to set an alarm and not have it wake LO up? I am getting nervous about the whole getting me and LO ready in the morning. Right now he wakes up around 5 and goes back to bed until after 7 so I am thinking he will be sleeping when I get ready. But what about the alarm? 

I could shut the door but I am afraid I won't hear him and I would prefer not to use the monitor at night....

We sleep with him right next to our bed and both our alarms go off in the morning and don't wake him up.  My H has the angry birds theme song, and for some reason it's loud, so one morning it woke up LO and I made damn sure when that thing goes off in the morning H is right on it to turn it off or snooze.  

I'm closer to LO and mine is just a birds chirping type alarm on my phone, he sleeps right through it.

Do a few practices runs to see what works best.

I agree with the pp, try it out a few times.  DS sleeps through our alarm going off, and he is sleeping in his RnP right next to the nightstand with the alarm on it.  I am able to shower and get ready for work before I dream feed him and get him ready for daycare.

Same here.  I use my cell phone for my alarm and set it to a soothing sound (natures melody I think?).  LO sleeps right through it.

Mine has never woken DD up. Not much does if she's in a deep sleep. We use a white noise machine in her room too.

Every situation is different, but I'd probably just get up when LO wakes at 5 and go to work early

I use my phone as the alarm and tuck it in between the 2 pillows on the bed, that way both alarms for DH and myself are heard. DH gets up at 4:30 for work and showers/gets ready, and DD's room is right across the hall. She has stirred a few times w/the bathroom noises and creaky floors, but has generally gone back to sleep.

LO is still in the room with us and DH has a loud obnoxious alarm that goes off several times every morning.  LO has yet to wake up from it.  Just see how it goes...you might be surprised!

Like pp, DS has never gotten up to my alarm....and it is LOUD! But I have been finding myself getting up 5 minutes before my alarm goes off, darn internal clock. I have never been one to hit snooze so I don't worry about it going off multiple times to wake up DS.

I guess I am the opposite as PP. My husband's alarm is just a few notes long but it wakes LO up most mornings. I hate it because he just snoozes the alarm a few times but I have to get up after the first alarm because DS is awake. Not cool!

DD sleeps in our bed and FI snoozes his alarm every 5 mins for an hour and it doesn't wake her up lol.
